Most buy-to-let investors will buy the initial properties in areas they know well and have the ability to manage at short notice. As you develop your skill as an investor further, or should you wish to seek out returns which are somewhat more exciting than much of what you find in the UK, you may wish to look at opportunities in markets overseas.
Property investment in foreign countries, often dubbed 'jet-to-let', is becoming increasingly popular, and there are finance products and schemes in place to allow you to do this without as much hassle as you would imagine. Countries in the Middle East, the new EU states, and even in the Far East can offer exciting projects and attractive returns.
You should not expect to be able to build up a property empire without studying, working hard, and making some mistakes. The key thing is to make sure you learn from the mistakes that you make, and not to repeat them again in the future.
